McConnell, back in Kentucky, talks about life in the Senate after leaving longtime leadership post

Associated Press  

SHELBYVILLE, Ky. — For nearly two decades, Mitch McConnell’s only job uncertainty hinged on whether he’d serve as Senate majority or minority leader after the next election. “And I’m certainly not leaving the Senate and still have a lot of interest in the issues that are before us.” Topping his to-do list: fighting back against what he sees as his party’s increasing shift toward an isolationist foreign policy, McConnell said. “Things don’t work well if we are not in the leadership position.” McConnell has steadfastly supported a muscular U.S. foreign policy during his Senate career. Backing off support for Ukraine in its war with Russia would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin’s expansionist ambitions and ultimately could trigger a wider conflict, McConnell said. When the topic turned to Kentucky losing clout once he’s no longer in leadership, the ever-restrained McConnell replied: “Well I think I’m still going to have a pretty big voice.” McConnell’s reputation as a prodigious campaign fundraiser for his party also will keep him influential in Republican politics.
